@CathyOlive I guess there might be some differences in approach. My DBS centre is in Glasgow. DM if you need more info. Have you watched Jo’s YouTube series?

Looking for people who have had DBS for PD and can simply explain the process. What happens at the first appointment with the neurologist? #parkinsons #deepbrainstimulation
English
@masson_graeme From what the Parkinson’s nurse said, an MDT meeting happened last week, which is why we got the call for the first appointment. But it sounds like there will be a different meeting once the initial meeting(s) have been completed.
English
@CathyOlive That happens after they have a multidisciplinary meeting to discuss your suitability.
English
@masson_graeme Thanks for your reply. So it’s quite a short one then. At what point do they do they do the assessment without meds?
English
@CathyOlive Hi Cathy. I had DBS installed a year ago. At the initial assessment, I met the Parkinson's nurse, went through my current medication regime, my symptoms, and why I was considering DBS.

@masson_graeme Oh, I was hoping you would’ve seen this Graeme, but I couldn’t find you on my tagging list!

A huge thank you to the coaches who gave up their evening to develop themselves and their coaching skills … and a MASSIVE thank you to @quarryrovers u8 girls who were fantastic, full of energy, awesome skills, and loads of smiles tonight 👏👏

Reflecting on refereeing yesterday.
I had a coach shouting for fouls all the way through the game, apparently he's know for pressuring refs. Happy with how I handled it.
Annoying that I got injured as he said 'the football gods did that for not giving us fouls' on my way off😡

So wonderful to see this and to have played a part in this initiative. Get in touch if you’re interested! quarryrovers.org.uk/parkinsons-wal…

@masson_graeme I’m here. Although I don’t have PD (my husband does), I resonate with what you say- the frustration, anger, and feeling hopeless and helpless.

@OctopusEnergy 3 weeks now and still no response to our query about our EV charger not working since your engineer came and installed an isolator. Is there anyone who can help or is this the beginning of the end for our relationship?
English
Nice to get the first CPD of the season in the books✅️
I connected well with the coaches, and got some really good conversations going in the classroom.
The practical was tough, with heavy rain and wind, so I coached a little less to keep the players moving.
A decent start.
English
@RJPcoach @RJPcoach oh my word. I have tears in my eyes! Thank you for this, I couldn’t do any of it without support from amazing people like you, my colleagues at OGFL, and people at @OxfordshireFA 💕💕💕

Im a big believer in giving credit where credit is due.
When I was asked to do a video to highlight and thank someone, @CathyOlive was an easy choice.
For her incredible work through her different roles, and the help she provided with the Stepping over the sidelines workshops.

I'm tutoring my first CPD event of the 25/26 season tonight, and my first one as an FA Grassroots Coach Developer.
I'm feeling a few extra nerves as I haven't tutored a CPD event since July, but I quite like that butterflies feeling, as it means I'm outside of my comfort zone.
